Wia Driver For Canon 4200f

Replies: 4 | Post Date: 2010-01-25 | User: Dwtna | Forums: answers.microsoft.com My canon 4200f scanner is supposed to be win 7 compatible. However, after i downloaded and installed the appropriate 64-bit drivers from the canon support site my scanner is still not recognized by applications or utilities within windows 7. Specifically, "devices and printers", "windows fax and scan", and photoshop cs4 extended (both 32 & 64bit versions) all report that a wia driver is needed for my scanner. Unfortunately canon has only posted offers a twain driver. Can someone please tell me where i can get a wia driver for this scanner?

*Original title - xps m1530 webcam issues*problem:webcams just dont work on this computer anymore. The internal webcam stopped working, then i tried an external, and it didnt work, and i just bought a new external webcam which is windows 7 compatible and still no luck.

Background: bought my xps m1530 with vista 32-bit almost 2 years ago and upgraded to windows 7 64-bit when it came out. My internal webcam has not worked since. When i look at the hardware details, it says everything is working ok, both for internal and external webcams, but the video just doesn't show. The microphone on the laptop works, and i think the microphone for the external webcam works so i think the products do work. I feel its a driver issue, but i have installed so many drivers and applications and nothing seems to work.

I don't see anyone else with this problem online. When i go to the control panel and look at my hardware, and double click on the internal webcam, i get this message ""you need a wia driver to use this device. Please install it from the installation cd or manufacturer's website and try again"". I just went to dell's website and reinstalled some drivers and some more, but still have the issue. Any idea what this wia driver is? I googled it, but cant find anything specific to my product.

I have contacted both dell and hp (external webcam), and dell points their fingers and hp and also says warranty void for changing os, and hp says its computers fault (and i do think it is computers fault), but none of them are really helping me solve the problem. Can anyone help me? Is there a way to run a diagnostic on the computer ?

Canoscan 4200f scanner installed and working with canon scangear toolbox. When i start windows 7 fax scanner it cannot find the scanner. I have downloaded the windows drover from canon but when i try to install it i get an error message saying it is not a 32bit software.

Windows update cannot find a drive for my canon ip1600. Canon's website only shows a driver for an add-on module. Device manager does not recognize it as a printer. It shows device type as other devices. It connects by usb. I use windows 7 professional 64 bit. I spoke with someone at canon who said that the driver is available through windows update and said to talk with microsoft. I talked with someone at microsoft and the only way they can help is if i pay $59 for support which i will not do. Can anyone help with this?

I have windows 7 64 bit set up with a canon ip6700d printer. I set up the printer to be shared on the network with another pc running windows xp 32 bit. When setting up the sharing options>additional drivers, i point to the x86 file: ip6700d. Inf located on the printer install disc. When i attempt to install the driver i get the message: "the specified location does not contain the driver canon inkjet ip6700d for the requested architecture" i have verified that it is the correct inf file by opening it. The following is the header info:

I trying to connect to home network computer running xp pro and making the printer available to my new win7 laptop. I now have the xp resources available like hard drives. I am unable to connect to the printer.

I have downloaded the latest driver from canon which is a 32-bit driver. We selecting the printer it asks for the driver which i select and at the end it says unable to connect to the printer. I am able to connect to the xp pros drives.

Windows xp includes printer driver for canon bubble-jet bj-10e. Windows 7 don't. So far i have to print on the bj-10e printer by distributing it in my lan. The bj-10e printer is connected to a computer running windows xp. The windows 7 computer as installed the bj10e printer as a network printer, by installing the printer driver from the xp machine.

Is there any way i can use the driver that the windows 7 machine uses for the bj-10e printer for connecting the printer as a local printer? Or how to be able to use the canon bj-10e printer as a local printer on my windows 7 machine?

I have a laptop running windows 7 (64-bit machine) that i want to print from. The laptop is wireless on a home network. The desktop is wireless as well and is running windows xp. The desktop has a canon pixma ip4000 printer hooked up with a parallel cable. I have installed the latest xp drivers for the printer on the desktop. The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a usb cable and the drivers will download automatically and it will print fine. However, i cannot connect this printer using the wireless system.

I can go on the laptop to the home network and navigate to the printer and try to install. It does an automatic search and says it cannot find the proper drivers. I can browse to the install file on my desktop, but it is an .exe file and not . Inf. I have run the .exe file and it installs too, but the printer installer on the laptop will not let me by the add . Inf screen to finish installing a wireless printer. Any suggestions?

There is a 32 bit printer driver available for my canon lbp 3000 but not yet one for 64 bit windows 7. Does anyone know of a universal driver that would work with it while i wait for the specific one to be released? I've tried the 32 bit one and it doesn't work at all.

I'm looking for creative ideas on my friend's current conundrum. He got a new $400 compaq pc from best buy loaded w/ windows 7 64-bit. All went swimmingly well until we got to his canon imagepass d660 laser printer. No 64-bit driver. Canon will never create a 64-bit driver for it. He loves this printer and does not want to abandon it. We can print to the printer from a laptop we converted from 32-bit vista to 32-bit 7. I'd share the printer from the laptop to the desktop but i believe that would still require a 64-bit driver.

I see only two options, unless someone can suggest another:

1. Repurchase win 7 at retail; wipe & reload the pc with 32-bit. Not sure if 32-bit drivers are available for the internal hardware. No cd came with the pc, either.

2. Return the pc and locate another pc with 32-bit loaded - probably via dell or hp online. If there is any way to circumvent a problem where there is no 64-bit support for a printer but another networked pc can print via 32-bit, i'd love to know about it.

Windows 7 os wont install driver for canon lbp810 laser printer using installation disk for lbp810 printer. I have attempted to run the install disk for the printer as well as using auto update function in windows 7. It seems the list of printers windows lists does not include the lbp810 model. I have also downloaded the driver from the net which fails as well. There seems to be a compatibility issue with the older drivers used to run printers. Can anyone please help me with this?

I recently purchased a canon hg20 hi-def camcorder. It uses a hard drive to store video - as well as a flash memory card. I have 2 computers, both almost identical in hardware and both running windows 7 home premium 64-bit. When i plug the camcorder via the usb connection to one computer it's found ok and drivers are loaded successfully. It's using "disk.sys", "partmgr.sys", and "sahdad64.sys".

However, when i plug it in to my other computer it searches and searches and searches and searches and finally comes back and says it couldn't find drivers and that it failed. When i look at it in device manager the driver is "usbstor.sys". I've tried removing the driver and reinstalling but it keeps picking the same one. I've tried updating the driver and the system tells me it's already the most current and refuses to replace it.

The computer that installed correctly works fine with the camera - i can access the videos on the camcorder hard drive and copy them to my computer. The other computer, however, refuses to install the camcorder correctly and i therefore can't access the camcorder from that computer.

Any ideas on how i can get my other computer to install this camcorder drivers correctly? I thought windows 7 was supposed to handle drivers better than other versions. I'm really surprised i'm getting different results on different computers that are almost identical.

Iam using a canon mp620 printer networked with 2 laptops and a pc. The pc runs xp and the two laptops previously ran vista home premium - no problems. Since upgrading (!) To windows 7 ultimate on the laptops, the printer will not run with any machine via wireless/networking, and will work with the xp pc via usb and with one of the laptops only, also only via usb. The laptops and the printer can identify each other wirelessly , and say that they are linked and working until i try to print anything - then, after the print queue, nothing happens.

Control panel shows a 'troubleshoot' message by the printer. One laptop will not work even when connected by usb. I have downloaded new drivers from canon. Any ideas, please - preferably not too technical, if poss.

Canon s200 printer has updated windows 7 x64 driver, is compatible with windows 7, is shown as default printer, but when attempting to print a page it has no response and acts like it is not even there.

I have a canon dr-1210-c scanner that needs drivers for my new windows 7 computer. Canon's website does not list drivers for 7. Where could i find the drivers? Need drivers for canon dr-1210-c scanner on windows 7 pc

Mp980 i can't get it to print! It keeps saying the printer is not responding and at time when i check in the device manager, there are yellow? For the printer but i can't do anything with it. How to fix?

Mode: canon mp980 Os: windows 7 64bit Connection: wireless

I have canon mp980. Everything is installed and they communicate! Even the card reader is readable from my pc using the printer as the card reader. Everything is wireless and previously before migrating to windows 7 from xp pro, the printer was already connected to my router thus it has ip and everything.

I checked the windows compatibility for windows 7 x64 and it lists my canon ip5000 as being compatible. This works fine in x32, and xp but in x64 i get an error that it can't find a compatible driver. I have downloaded the "add on" from canon's site, but they claim it needs to have some driver from windows first. I don't know what they are talking about. If i try to manually add my printer the 5000 is not in the list, there is a 5300.

If i install this i can print, but the colors are wrong. Any ideas what i can do? I've tried uninstalling everything multiple times, reinstalling, rebooting out of ideas don't want to buy a new printer when this works fine in any other os. In the printers dialog it shows "inkjet printer" with an exclamation point.

I'm using windows 7 and have installed the latest driver available for the canon mpc 200. I can see the the driver has been successfully installed in the device manager window. The device status also shows that "this device is working properly. " However, when i go to the control panel to "add a printer", the exact device name is not listed there, so i selected what seems to be the nearest match i.e. "Canon inkjet mp21 series. "

When i tried to print a test page - nothing happened. (Even though the driver i installed has the exact name has the printer - i can't understand why it is available in the droop down list of available printers. ) So, i tried adding it as a new device but it wasn't identified.

I have a problem with my printer canon pixma ip3000 on windows 7 installation. The printer is connected properly and works fine with windows xp installed on another partition of the same computer. On the windows 7 partition the printer is shown on the printers window, all properties look correctly, but no action is sent to printer (like printer cleaning, test page printing). When i try to perform any operation, the action appears in the printer queue for a while and then disappears but nothing happens on the printer. I have downloaded the latest driver from canon web page.

I have upgraded my computer from vista to win7 and have a compatibility problem with my usb canon pixma ip6600d printer. The printer worked fine with vista. My computer is a dell xps 435 mt which uses the intel i7 processor. As soon as i turn the printer on, i get a blue screen stop. The system goes into a diagnostic mode immediately with the following results.

I installed windows 7 (64-bit), and am now having problems printing with my canon mp500 printer (previously ran fine with windows vista). I've installed the 64-bit drivers for windows 7 from the canon printer web site, but get the following message every time i try to print: "cannot communicate with printer. Turn enable bi-directional support on in the printer's properties dialog box. "

The error message pops up every time i print, but i know the printer is connected because i can print documents from my computer (word files, etc). However, i cannot print anything from the web. I just get a page with the header/footer and blank in the middle. I checked the dialogue box for the printer, but don't see where to change the setting to correct this problem. Can you offer any suggestions?

I have a canon pixma ip4300 printer and cannot get my asus laptop to print to it. The printer is installed correctly with upto date drivers and is showing in the printers and device area but when it goes to print it says that is collecting the data and takes ages and then a popup comes us saying there is an error and tells me to cancel. I have tried troubleshooting but that is coming back with no errors. The printer was connected to an acer laptop that was running vista but i have since removed it from that machine thinking that might have been part of the problem but is still wont print.

I have installed an ip90 canon printer and it will not print, i have removed and then re-installed the printer driver which was downloaded from the canon website and even after sending the printer test pages from 2 different computers the printer, which by the way has jus been completely rebuilt by a reputable printer service person, still will not print. I have tried to update the driver and i keep getting a message that says document sent to printer (which by the way said it was ready) it does not print. Oh, the printer will print when not hooked up to a computer.
